I think it is supposed to be optional but I never managed to get a build to work without it.

Subject: [WiX-users] WiX solution build error... Hello WiX community, This is probably a silly question... I'm trying to build WiX solution and keep getting the error: "Couldn't find Platform SDK directory - please ensure the Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 SDK or Visual Studio 2008 is installed" VS 2008 is installed. As far as I understand, Windows SDK is not required in this case. The docs say "Windows 2008 SDK or VS 2008" and Neil's blog post also lists SDK as optional: http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-create-wix-build-mach ine.html Does anyone know what's wrong then?
